Together for the Common Good conference

The programme for the Together for the Common Good conference (6-8 September) has been announced.

T4CG is a national project looking at how different Christian traditions and other faith communities can work better together for social justice.

The conference weekend has an emphasis on delegate participation and includes working groups, panel discussions, speeches and informal sessions and speakers include Archbishop Bernard Longley, Dr Anna Rowlands, Revd Ruth Gee, Lord Maurice Glasman, Bernadette Farrell, Dame Mary Tanner, Frank Field MP and Phillip Blond, among others in an interesting line up.

The overall project is inspired by the Sheppard Worlock partnership and T4CG is also running a research process which is calling for case studies and other contributions. The organisers suggest registering soon to avoid disappointment. Online booking and further details are at www.togetherforthecommongood.co.uk
